Description

This exciting series focuses on the vitality and uniqueness of the world's greatest cities. Each volume is superbly designed and produced, yet ingeniously practical, with lavish photography, easy-to-read maps, and informed and enjoyable texts. From offbeat cafés and cutting-edge restaurants to the most stylish stores, hotels, and neighborhoods, StyleCity uncovers all the special places where both locals and discerning travelers can find a vibrant urban experience. The guides are divided into two sections: "Style Traveler" identifies the most memorable places to sleep, eat, drink, shop, and relax; "Street Wise" divides the city into neighborhoods and provides convenient area maps. No other great world city represents such a dynamic convergence of popular culture with tradition, cosmopolitanism with national pride, retrospection with progress. London's manifest layers of history are given brilliance by the global trends it often originates. The city occupies an edgy and exciting position somewhere between European and American culture, with an idiosyncratic character all its own. From the newest gastro-pubs to interior designers' secret sources, from hyper-sleek architecture to quirky house-museums, StyleCity London shows you the way to the city's real jewels. Sorry!
